Start iRobot cleaning when you leave home
How this automation works
Automatically send your iRobot back to its dock when a specific Nexia automation runs. This Applet activates whenever your chosen Nexia automation triggers and immediately commands your iRobot to return to its charger. Ideal for managing cleaning routines and keeping your home tasks coordinated across smart platforms.
